Apply this marinade on the lamb and keep in fridge for at least 1 day.
Bring out of the marinated leg of lamb from the fridge 1-2 hours prior to cooking to get it to room temperature.
Heat oven to 200 degrees centigrade.
Cook the leg of lamb in a baking tray with all the marinade for 30 minutes to brown the leg.
Pour 1 glass of water in the tray, cover with foil and reduce the heat to 180 degrees centigrade.

When the leg is cooked, remove from baking tray and let it rest for ½ hour.
